All eyes in Tennessee will be on Marcus Mariota and his battle with second year quarterback Zach Mettenberger for who takes the reins on offense. It will also be interesting to see what changes are made as assistant head coach Mike Mularkey is given more control of the offense this year. With veteran defensive assistant Dick LeBeau signed to inject life in a defense which gave up 438 points last season under coordinator Ray Horton, the Titans are banking on improvement on both sides of the ball. Let’s examine how that will play out in 2015:

The Houston Texans saw running back Arian Foster returned to his Pro Bowl form rushing for over 1,200 yards in just 13 games while young wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins topped 1,200 yards receiving. However, the team has a lot of work to do in the preseason to improve upon their 9-7 record from last year. Let’s examine how that will play out in 2015 at FSF with the Game by Game Predictions:

This year the Patriots’ depth chart included Wright, veteran Fred Davis, and former Buffalo Bills tight end Scott Chandler. Michael Hoomanawanui and his knowledge of the blocking schemes and offense after three seasons in New England still has the upper hand as a depth option.

In addition, the Patriots drafted project and former college quarterback A.J. Derby in the sixth round, signed undrafted free agent Jimmay Mundine, and converted 2012 third round draft pick defensive end Jake Bequette to tight end. Former LSU tight end Logan Stokes was with the team briefly as an undrafted free agent but did not stick around.

Tim Wright was surprisingly released and subsequently claimed off waivers by his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers...Just what are the Patriots doing at tight end?
